I didn't know that digital copies expired!!!

I'd never heard of this. What's the point of a digital copy that expires? Remember the old days when purchasing something meant it was yours to watch freely? I'm glad it's only a bonus, and not solely what you're paying for.

My STXI digital copy expired after I used it once. The download failed and instead of letting me download again, it told me I couldn't use the serial. Customer service ignored me.

Both methods are illegal.
Knowing nothing about the process, I am 200 percent sure there are dozens if not hundreds of websites (mostly in Chinese) that have the "cheatcodes" to unlock these expired movies, which you could find with nothing but google and a few minutes.
YOU ALREADY OWN THE MOVIE!
It's one of those times in which the government can take it's Illegal" bullshit and shove it up their asses.
It is the first. Once you download it, you can keep it forever, as far as I know.
bigdaddy - you don't own the movie. Only the disc it's on. You *license* the movie.
Yep, it's in the legalesse most people skip through that comes with every movie.
I like it where they say that it's illegal to show "This film" in prisons.
Digital copies also only work on the one computer you activate them on. So along with them expiring, they can cram it with walnuts.
Same with downloads you buy, from Amazon for example, that can only be played on their player which doesn't work half the time.
I've been ripping DVD's for years and now blu-rays, to my computer, for myself to watch on that computer or to put on an external drive and watch on another computer.
I don't put entire movies or TV episodes on youtube because I think people should buy the disc, though I have been known to put short clips there.
I don't think I'm taking anything away from whoever "owns" the movie. I purchased the disc, I'm just watching it differently than putting it in the blu-ray player.

Blah blah blah.
You used to be able to copy / back up tapes and such as long as you don't sell them. You own the lisence in every form.
If you, as an individual, rip a movie that you have on DVD, the government is never going to come after you. The studio that owns the film is never going to know, either. So, fuck the letter of the law on that one--there isn't shit they can do.
Downloading is dicier since you can get caught doing that.

The license doesn't allow you to do that. It lets you watch the movie from that disc and nowhere else.
Nope, many have discs that allow access to the digital version with a password, for downloading. The digital version is not on the disc itself. Downloaded all to the imac. It appears that I can transfer it from there, as if purchased from itunes.
